Mini raspberry cheesecakes

Fine mini cheesecakes with cocoa-nut base, creamy cheesecake filling and raspberry topping

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes (vegan)

Vegan mini raspberry cheesecakes have been missing from my collection so far and I thought why not create a new vegan cheesecake recipe. At the moment it is freezing cold here in Bavaria and we are outside a lot with our huskies. They love snow and cold more than anything and are out in the garden even at minus 10 degrees. Just lie down on a slab of ice and sleep, that’s her favorite hobby next to pulling sleds or a neat winter jog in the woods. After that, we usually have a hot coffee or tea together with a delicious cake. At the same time, I’m a big fan of vegan cheesecakes fresh out of the fridge. The creamy and fruity are simply the best combination ever. Raspberries are now also available in winter in organic quality or simply frozen from the freezer.

The Raspberry Cheesecake consists of 3 layers, a cocoa-coconut date layer, a creamy layer of cashews and vegan curd and a fine raspberry topping that I gel with the help of agar agar. I’m a big fan of raw cakes and appreciate the many combinations it makes possible. In the meantime, I completely renounce the addition of coconut oil, which can be found in many recipes. It is largely made up of saturated fatty acids, which solidify as they cool, giving the cheesecake a firmer shape. Science is still debating whether it is healthy or unhealthy to consume coconut oil. Honestly, I’m personally not convinced that this particular oil, with its 92% saturated fat, has a positive effect on my health. So I just leave it out and use xanthan gum to bind the cheesecake mixture. It is an organic food approved, natural and vegan binder that has had a permanent place in my cupboard for quite some time.

Vegan cheesecakes, easy and quick to prepare

Let’s move on to the individual layers and ingredients:

  • The base consists of pecans, coconut flakes, cocoa, dates and a pinch of salt. With dates, it is important that they are nice and soft and easy to handle. I use soft Medjool dates, which I like to stock up on and store in the fridge for several weeks.
  • The cheesecake filling is made with cashews, coconut yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, bourbon vanilla and xanthan gum.
  • The fruity raspberry layer consists of frozen or fresh raspberries, maple syrup and a gelling mass of water and agar agar. I love to gel with agar agar, it’s so easy and quick.

Use agar agar gelatin correctly

I now use agar-agar very regularly. It is a vegetable gelling agent obtained from algae. If you want to learn more about gelling agents and their manufacturing process, feel free to take a look at PETA’s article. https://www.peta.de/gelatine

Agar-agar is a safe, very easy-to-use alternative to ordinary gelatin products. I explain the procedure again in detail in the recipe description.

TIP: Rule of thumb when using agar-agar is that it absolutely must be boiled up. Otherwise, it does not gel. When cooling, the mass then becomes solid. I always recommend doing a gelling test to see if the ratio is right. To do this, put a small amount on a plate and let it set in the refrigerator. Then check if the consistency is right. If it is too hard, boil it with a little more water. If too liquid, use a little more agar agar and boil again. Repeat the gelation test.

I hope you now have a desire for a delicious piece of raspberry cheesecake. If yes, then I wish you much fun with the “Nachbacken” and of course about a rating at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
